[PATCH v5 24/31] powerpc/fadump: improve how crashed kernel's memory is reserved

[Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.ibm.com>]

The size parameter to fadump_reserve_crash_area() function is not needed
as all the memory above boot memory size must be preserved anyway. Update
the function by dropping this redundant parameter.
